I've just seen the cats found in cardboard boxes on FB and I'm crying tears of anger and upset. I don't know how you do it @thecatneuterer but thank you for being there for the ones that need it
Ollie is bemused why I'm clinging on to him and why his fur is wet

OMG. What have I just watched? There really are no words.

What a sick bastard to do that . The behaviour and attitude towards animals of some humans really disgusts me.
They look like lovely cats too. Well done to CHAT and the lady who contacted them.

The poor things looked so bewildered.

Abosultey vile person. Was raging when I saw the video. Thank goodness they're in good hands now

So relieved they were found, the poor darlings. Watched the video at my desk - big mistake...started to cry. We rescued our girls from CHAT just four weeks ago, such a wonderful centre. Many humans make me sick.

Who on earth does that? Those poor cats. Thank God they ended up where they did. If only my two terrible torties weren’t quite so terrible. I’d love a ginger. Or two.

So many questions.
Why seal them up in boxes with loads of tape rather than just let them loose IYKWIM?
Unless they were to be picked up by someone?

I really can't get my head around it.

I hate to say it but maybe it was bin day.

There are no words. Did anyone else go and find their cats to give them a squeeze? I wonder if we will ever find out their story

I just watched the video, heartbreaking. Shocking the amount of tape they used. Just thinking about how long it must have taken, getting those cats in the boxes and taping them up is shocking. So pre- meditated.

I was horrified when I watched the video. Can’t believe the levels some stoop to So cruel

Do you know what - this particular rescue barely registered with me. Yes I know it wasn't something I had direct involvement with, but that's not why, it's just I'm so very, very used to this sort of thing. I am rarely shocked these days, always appalled and upset of course, but rarely surprised.

Just this week I collected a pair of kittens that had been dumped on the stairwell of a tower block. They were so scared I had to trap them. The really awful thing about that was that they had been there for three days and no one had even fed them, until one particular lady came back from holiday, saw them, fed them and reported them to us. Without her intervention I dread to think what would have happened.

Celia keeps telling me to take photos of my rescues so we can put the stories up but every time I find myself there, faced with the situation, I totally forget! I really must make an effort.

Just goes to show the amount of horrific cases you have to deal with . Thankfully some people do care but it's awful the amount who just don't. They are living creatures FFS!
I debated whether to let DD (nearly 9yo) watch the video. She did see it and suggested the person who abandoned them should go to jail.

I just don't get it. I spent more time and care with a cat that I found by the side of the road (died as I arrived), I went out in pjs when a local rescue messaged me, wrapped cat in a blanket, took to the vets, posted on social media because I couldn't stand the thought of the owner not knowing. Not chipped

I couldn't walk past a hungry/neglected/abandoned animal whether it was a cat or a dog or a hamster. Yet my neighbours shut their cat out in all weather because "it was too noisy"
Beautiful Birman cat, howling outside in the driving wind and snow. I brought him in and he slept all night with me for months (I let him back out at around 6am every day )

I saw it. I can’t get my head around how long that would take to use that amount of tape. Initially I thought it was two boxes, but four! my goodness how awful

Beyond disgusting as they were left to die, who would do that to their own cats? I hope they get them and prosecute.

Beautiful gingers, hope they get a wonderful loving home.

Absolutely shocking. If anyone wants to do something to help and can afford to maybe they could consider making a donation to the Celia Hammond charity? They do amazing work and often struggle to get the funds they need. Unfortunately there are an awful lot of cats in dire need of their help as there seem to be so many terrible people in the world and Celia Hammond, like so many other rescues, are in desperate need of support.

Those little faces☹️it’s so heartbreaking.

I ordered them something off their Amazon wish list. Poor souls. I want to adopt one but I'm miles away from the Celia Hammond centre :(

I think there might be some more pictures soon.

i am going to look at the Amazon wish List too.

Is there a link? I cant face reading it again

I have just been looking at the Celia Hammond FB page.

CHAT are my charity to support and I send money monthly. I wish I could send more.

We have six gorgeous rescues, three came from rescue centres, 1 was a direct rehoming and two were from the streets. I just can't imagine anyone doing this to a cat.

I see there's an update and some lovely photos on the CHAT Facebook page. They're doing well and need to be neutered and microchipped. Think they'll be off to new homes pretty quickly. That daid hopefully they won't stop people adopting any of the other cats awaiting homes.
